In ‘Loose Time’, a selection of Newcastle-based emerging artists grapple with what this time has meant for them in its hindrances and in its flourishing.
About
What will we call the time from now? How will we refer to it, if indeed we will? Maybe as an absence, maybe as a monotonous void. Maybe as a time to reflect and radically change one’s outlook and priorities. Maybe all the above, or maybe none; but the past 16 months has certainly changed time(s) – reconfigured it. In ‘Loose Time’, a selection of Newcastle-based emerging artists grapple with what this time has meant for them in its hindrances and in its flourishing. For the majority of the artists in this exhibition, it’ll be the first time they have shown their work in a physical space since graduating, and many had their studies interrupted. What binds these disparate artists is a common isolation and with that comes a thematic commonality. Darkness, isolation, hope, politics, and the importance of connectivity are at the centre of this playful and experimental exhibition.
